title: 'SSH Server'

description: |-
    The SSH protocol is recommended for remote login and
    remote file transfer. SSH provides confidentiality and integrity
    for data exchanged between two systems, as well as server
    authentication, through the use of public key cryptography. The
    implementation included with the system is called OpenSSH, and more
    detailed documentation is available from its website,
    {{{ weblink(link="https://www.openssh.com") }}}.
    Its server program is called <tt>sshd</tt> and provided by the RPM package
    <tt>openssh-server</tt>.
